The genesis of Bass Pro Shops traces back to 1972, when Johnny Morris began selling fishing tackle from his father's Brown Derby Liquor Store in Springfield, Missouri. Inspired by outdoor adventures with his father, he expanded his business with the first Bass Pro Shops catalog in 1974 and introduced Tracker Boats in 1978. These boats, sold through Tracker Marine Group, marked a milestone by offering a complete package for anglers. Today, Bass-Pro Outdoor World in Fort Lauderdale reflects Morris's vision, serving as a haven for outdoor lovers.
